I've lurking on the Spanish mailing list for some time and they seem to be
pretty focused on Spain. Bear in mind that although the language is the same, we
live in countries with very different mapping needs. I agree that some language
related mapping issues should be discussed in only one place but there are many
things specific to one country.

There might be something to that but it also should be considered that there are
large countries around here. Brazil is the fifth country in the world by area
and Argentina the eighth (about 8 times the size of Germany).
